Chapter 286: All-Star Weekend Organizers

What fans don't know is that the Lakers did try to contact Wang Xiao before the start of the regular season, hoping that Wang Xiao can coach the Lakers.

But Wang Xiao refused.

Just kidding, the Wizards are now strong, Curry, George Thompson and others are still on the rise, even if the whole team doesn't play any tactics, just relying on the players to play their own singles can occupy a place in the East, isn't it good to win by holding your thighs and lying comfortably? Why run to other teams to find yourself uncomfortable?

As a traditional giant in the league, the Lakers are far deeper than the Wizards, the management is intrigued, and only Kobe Bryant is the only player in the player, Wang Xiao doesn't think he can do anything if he goes to the Lakers.

At least the minimum premise he asks for, the Lakers won't agree to — their management would never give such an important right to trade to a head coach.

Wang Xiao, who has crossed over since 2019, knows very well what the Lakers will look like in the future.

From this season, after Kobe Bryant broke his Achilles tendon in order to enter the playoffs, the Lakers missed the playoffs for five years from 14 to 19, even if in the 18-19 season, the team ushered in James, a god, but still failed to lead the Lakers back to the playoffs.

Although the Lakers are based in Los Angeles and may be the most popular basketball club in the world, Wang Xiao still won't consider ...... However, if the Lakers promise to give him absolute rights and not interfere in any of Wang Xiao's behavior, when the Wizards win three consecutive championships and the team cannot retain the current full lineup due to salary reasons, he can also consider challenging it.

……

After the Christmas game, the December schedule is also coming to an end, and the Wizards are still leading the league, followed by teams such as the Heat, Spurs, and Trail Blazers.

In terms of record, Wang Xiao has no need to worry at all, this season's Wizards may still have some difficulty breaking the Bulls' regular season record of 72 wins, but there is absolutely no problem in maintaining the league's No. 1 record to enter the playoffs.

At the end of the month, Wang Xiao deliberately took the time to go to Harvard to see Cheng Jie, Wang Meng and Hao Peng.

After a season of hard work, Cheng Jie and Wang Meng have initially shown the potential of the growth template card, and the Harvard varsity team has officially included the two in the official list.

In the Ivy League league, the two can already be regarded as superstars, and they can easily lead the Harvard varsity team to sweep the entire Ivy League.

On the other hand, Hao Peng, like Cheng Jie and Wang Meng last season, conducts daily training with the team and learns English and other academic knowledge.

Although David was used. Robinson's Hao Peng is destined to become a top star in the future, and even become the second big Yao in China, but Wang Xiao still feels that some necessary knowledge still needs to be learned.

In that regard, he strongly agrees that the NBA must be of a certain age to participate in the draft.

The knowledge learned in the school is not necessarily useful, but some things are very meaningful, such as the improvement of comprehension skills, teamwork, etc., and the low level of the school basketball league can also give players a space to grow step by step.

It's like Hao Peng, although he now uses David. Robinson's growth template card, but because of his age and basic skills, it is impossible to play directly in the NBA.

Garnett, Kobe, James, Howard, these high school players are a minority in the league after all, and most players are not a good transition, and suddenly enter a high-intensity and high-level competitive league, I am afraid that they will be beaten out of the psychological shadow in less than a season, just like the Kwame selected by Joe Gang Leader when he saw the British when he saw it. Brown.

Kwame. Brown is a well-known parallel trader, on the one hand, because of his own lack of ability, and on the other hand, he also bears the pressure and burden that he should not bear at his age......

Hao Peng's situation at Harvard University is very good, with Cheng Jie and Wang Meng, two big brothers who came a year earlier, no one dares to bully him, and Cheng Jie and Wang Meng have shown their power in the Ivy League this season, which has also made the status of several people at Harvard more stable.

Jack is cool, with Cheng Jie and Wang Meng, Harvard is expected to stabilize the NCAA championship again, since Jeremy Lin and Dunn participated in the NBA draft, Harvard has not lifted the NCAA championship trophy, if he can win the championship this time, he will definitely fill in a heavy stroke on his coaching resume.

……

After watching a Harvard University game in the Ivy League, Wang Xiao rushed back to the Wizards.

December passed, and the time entered 2013, and there were still a lot of things for the Wizards in January.

First of all, the Wizards had 17 games in January, 11 of which were on the road, and many of them were back-to-backs, and the slightest mistake could lead to a wave of consecutive defeats.

Second, preparations for NBA All-Star Weekend have already begun during this time period.

This year's All-Star Weekend is hosted by the Washington Wizards.

(The 2013 All-Star Weekend was organized by a certain team, and because of a certain Ray's disgusting remarks some time ago, he didn't want to mention a certain team at all, so the plot here was slightly changed to directly make the Wizards the 13-year All-Star host.) )

As an All-Star organizer, in January, the Wizards' players will shoot various videos and posters, participate in promotional activities, and canvass for their teammates.

In the just-concluded first-round voting, as the star of the Wizards, Curry received more than 900,000 votes, and his narrow margin defeated James to rank first in the league.

Curry's stats this season are not explosive, but the honors of 2 regular season MVPs and 1 FMVP have pushed Curry's popularity to the top, and with the status of the host of the host, it is not surprising that he has become the ticket king.

In addition to Curry, the Wizards also have three votes on the list, namely George, who is ranked 3rd in the Eastern Forward, Thompson, who is ranked 8th in the Eastern backcourt, and Leonard, who is ranked 7th in the Eastern Forward.

With the number of votes of these three people, I am afraid it will be difficult to be selected as an All-Star starter, after all, even the highest-ranked George is only ranked 3rd among forwards, and he can't compete for James and Anthony, who are also forwards, let alone Leonard.

As for Thompson, don't even think about it, the Eastern defenders are full of talent, Curry, Jeremy Lin, Wade, Rondo, and Delon are competing for the two All-Star starting positions fiercely enough, how can Thompson have a share?

And that's when Rose was reimbursed for the season, with one less competitor.

The Wizards' side is more expected to be Curry as an All-Star starter, and George, Thompson, and Leonard are selected as All-Star substitutes, so that they will not be in vain as the host to have home-court advantage.
